Abstract :
Existing multilearner systems support three areas of group collaborative e-learning environments: communication, coordination, and collaboration. This distinction reflects the description of the functional aspects of the strict idea WYSIWIS (what you see is what i see). Yet, this method is only of limited use because it does not take into consideration individual requirements. In other words, it lacks adaptation. Therefore, adding adaptation features to this method personalizes the course presentation to the learner\´s needs through learning sessions. Accordingly this leads to a new trend that we could call "what you see is adapted to what i need to see" (WYSIA WINS).
